Abandoned as a baby into a cruel care system Paul fought through years of abuse and neglect to emerge as an adult into a world of violence and crime in London's East End. Despite all of this he built a new life for himself and eventually found love and success, but had to confront his own demons when he discovered six of eight childhood friends he grew up with were victims of that cruel system and no longer alive.

Great friends and a loving heart transformed Paul’s world and he has gone on to help thousands of people as a specialist conditioning coach, sports injury expert, celebrity personal trainer, presenter and best-selling author.

Paul has made a positive impact on the lives of so many and with this book and the movie Big Boys Don't cry continues to speak out and ensure these events and people are never forgotten.
